Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Apr 07 on how the readings of this the Fifth Sunday in Lent focuses on mercy and hope with the account of the woman caught in adultery. He points out that root of the word mercy is misery and then describes the misery of the Pharisees on the one hand and that of the sinful woman. Jesus demonstrates how to use religious authority to cover the shame of the sinners and bring them back to God and how we can do the same.
